Chương 34: Chapter 34: Dog-headed Man!

Lis gently jumped down from the carriage and stood in front of it.

Those two dog-headed men, clad in unnamed red leather, didn't seem to sense the danger, still naively charging with their makeshift spears crafted from branches and stones.

Ya'er and her teammates watched as Lis prepared to make a move, directing their gaze towards him.

They didn't doubt Lis's ability to handle the two dog-headed men; they were simply curious to see how Lis would perform against demons for the first time.

Although dog-headed men pose a significant threat to ordinary people, that's mainly because they tend to move in groups. If outnumbered, they generally choose to flee.

Cases where two isolated dog-headed men dare to charge are indeed rare.

Lis himself seemed relaxed and at ease. He didn't even take out his Jade Wand, just raised his right hand and cast a spell without it.

"Flash Technique!"

Lis intentionally heightened his Magic Power output, and a blinding light flashed before the dog-headed men.

Living in dim environments for long periods had accustomed their eyes to darkness, so even a Zero Level Magic like the Flash Technique could effectively blind them.

"Wah! Ya!"

The two dog-headed men were blinded by Lis's Flash Technique, panicked and running around chaotically while howling incoherently.

Apparently, only the higher-ranking priests and magicians among the dog-headed men could speak the common tongue and some Draconic, while most communicated through their calls alone.

"Fireball Technique!"

With a flick of his finger, Lis sent two Fireball Techniques, hitting both ugly dog-headed men precisely; they instantly fell silent and turned to ashes in the blaze.

[You caused fatal damage to the target using the Fireball Technique!]

[You have killed two Dog-headed Men (Ordinary) LV10!]

[You have gained 200 Experience Points]

These dog-headed men really give such low Experience! Lis complained.

It couldn't be helped; after all, dog-headed men were too weak. A tusked wild boar could take on five ordinary ones single-handedly.

Arsen raised an eyebrow. The Flash Technique was nothing special, but it took an experienced mage with seasoned expertise to use it against low-level dog-headed men.

And there was something unusual about Lis's Fireball Technique; why did it seem much stronger than the ones he had seen before?

Seeing Lis walking towards the thicket where the dog-headed men had emerged, Arsen quickly asked,

"Lis, where are you going?"

"Dog-headed men usually move in clan groups. I'm going to see if their den is here."

"I'll come with you. Ya'er, you and the others guard the carriage."

"I want to go too!" Ya'er, who was bored from sitting in the carriage all day, naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

"Alright then," Arsen conceded somewhat reluctantly, but he figured there shouldn't be any problems with Ailina and Lunbos watching the carriage.

The three of them followed the path left by the dog-headed men deep into the thicket. The signs they left were quite clear; even without the Hunter profession, the trio quickly located the den based on experience alone.

It was at the bottom of a rocky hillock, with a clearly excavated cave leading into the hillside, guarded by two dog-headed man sentries at the entrance.

"What do you think?" Out of politeness, Lis asked Arsen before taking action.

"There's nothing much to say, just charge straight in, these Dog-headed Men pose no threat to us."

Arsen said offhandedly and then seemed to remember something important. He quickly reminded Lis:

"Lis, remember not to use Earth Magic after entering the cave."

"I know."

Lis certainly knew why, in his past life's game, there had been a Mage who, for some reason, had a mental short circuit and used the Earthquake Skill while exploring the Underground City, which caused the entire area of the city to collapse, resulting in the whole team's death underground.

This miraculous blunder was rated as one of the classic textbook examples of what not to do as a Mage on the player forums.

That being said, Lis didn't think he had to cast any harmful spells; his teammates were simply too powerful.

Lis only had time to cast Shield Skill on Ya'er and Arsen before the two charged out. The two guards at the entrance of the cave hadn't even realized what was happening before their heads literally flew off.

Ya'er and Arsen charged directly into the cave, and with a shake of his head, Lis followed them in.

When your teammates are too strong and make you look useless, what do you do?

Your only option is to buff yourself with Shield Skill, Elemental Shield, and Protection Arrow to enhance your sense of participation.

Walking into the cave of the Dog-headed Men, it's worth noting that, though they are typically only one meter tall, the cave itself is quite spacious. At least, Lis could walk in upright without worrying about bumping his head.

The Dog-headed Men, as natural miners, were remarkably skilled at digging caves, and Lis even noticed that they had set up ventilation shafts and support columns at intervals, proving their reliability.

No wonder giant dragons liked to gather a bunch of Dog-headed Men as their favored, having them mine precious ores and gemstones was indeed a smart move.

This was also the reason why Lis wanted to explore the Dog-headed Men's caves. In his past life, almost every discovered Dog-headed Men's nest contained some rare ores, and with extreme luck, one might even find a Magic Gem.

As a result, many players tirelessly explored the caves of the Dog-headed Men as if they were opening a blind box.

Ya'er and Arsen had already disappeared from sight, not really concerned with the potential precious ores inside the Dog-headed Men's cave. Their sole purpose was to eliminate the threat, as Dog-headed Men were not much of a problem for them, but they could still pose a significant threat to ordinary people passing by, especially since the cave was so close to the main road.

Lis quickened his pace and headed deeper into the cave, occasionally seeing one or two slain Dog-headed Men lying on either side of the corridor.

His panel was constantly popping up with teammate kill information, and he was also sharing in some Experience Points. It was better than nothing.

Gauging the length of the cave's corridor to be over a hundred meters, he soon arrived at the end of the cave.

The end was a relatively open area where the Dog-headed Men had dug upwards by five or six meters, creating a huge space, with additional caves excavated on both walls, where the Dog-headed Men usually rested.

"Lis, come here quickly and see, there's a Magician in this Dog-headed Man's nest."

Ya'er cheerfully waved at Lis, calling him over to see her new discovery.

Lis walked over to Ya'er. This cave was directly opposite the tunnel entrance, and the caves on the walls were noticeably larger than the others.

At Ya'er's feet lay a slain Dog-headed Man who was obviously different from the others, clad in more complete animal skin clothing, with a primitive Magic Wand made of bone and wood lying beside it.

"You've already killed him, what's left for me to see?" Lis said with a touch of resignation.

"Ah, I forgot. When I saw the light coming from his wand, I just unconsciously chopped him down."

Ya'er felt a bit embarrassed, as it was her first time encountering a Dog-headed Man Magician, and she hadn't been able to hold back in the moment.

"It's fine, after all, it's not like there's much to be said to these creatures."

Lis waved it off. Even if the Dog-headed Man Magician might have spoken the common tongue, he didn't see any point in communicating with these beings; he didn't need Dog-headed Men to mine for him.
